Juventus plans the new season: Allegri at the head of the bench, Di Maria the
Allegri and Di Maria

There are still too many variables at play to judge Juventus' season. First of all, more than three months of the season to play. In the game, relegation to the championship and prospects in the Coppa Italia and the Europa League. Then the whole unsportsmanlike part, with the appeal for the penalty of 15 points and new fronts that can be opened even at the UEFA level. But the Juventus club is already planning the next season. It seems that there are two fixed points: Massimo Allegri the lighthouse on the bench and Angel Di Maria the star of the team and leader in the dressing room.

Everything starts with the work of the Tuscan coach. Allegri, without the penalty, would have amassed 47 points by now, second behind elusive Napoli. On the European front, the first elimination in his career in the group stage of the Champions League burns. This could be mitigated by a good run in the Europa League. The victory in Nantes has opened new perspectives. Without forgetting the Italian Cup, another front that could lead to a European qualification.

MAX ALLEGRI'S FIRST REQUEST…

Allegri's first request in this sense is the confirmation of Di Maria. The Argentine arrived on a one-year contract, with the intention of finishing his career at home, with Rosario Central. However, Fideo has never closed the door to a renewal. In Turin he feels good and it is not surprising - explains Gazzetta dello Sport -. In the following days, a market meeting is expected between the club and the coach, where Di Maria will be a priority. The technician sees the Argentine as a reference on the field for class, but also in the dressing room, given his charisma and experience. The performances of the last few weeks, 6 goals in 7 games, have erased the doubts about Di Maria's physical condition and motivation.

A lot will also depend on the qualification or not in Europe. The weight of the Argentine's contract in Juventus' budget, in this case, will be more manageable with UEFA's income. Another hand would also come from the Growth Decree. With the second year in Italy, the gross subsidy would begin. In any case, the offer would be lower than the current agreement (6 million euros plus bonus). A Di Maria encore no longer seems as unlikely as it did just a few weeks ago...
